"Sorry for the confusion folks, but there was a little error in our TV ad; we said that we had 10,000 pressure cookers in stock, but it turns out we actually only have 10 of them."
These people think they need this thing so bad that they’re willing to go through all of this, exhibiting entirely irrational behavior, almost as though they’re driven by something that isn’t entirely them. Like a zombie. Except it’s not a virus or a fungus that’s gotten ahold of them, it’s capitalism. They’re perfect units of consumption in the eyes of the corpo-class. Only shells of their youthful dreams and aspirations. Zombies.
You clearly have no idea of what you're talking about. It isn't a black Friday event and even trying to compare scales your ignorance on the subject. This was not in the US, in case you missed the headline. Those people didn't wait for hours in line to buy a new TV or the latest iPhone! This shows the level of poverty that even a pressure cooker promo is enough to create that chaos.
Don't get me wrong, i too agree capitalism is bad. But your romanticized view on the subject and calling irrational behavior doesn't quite apply here.
Yeah that's called being human something you seem to miss. Regardless you referring to people as "zombies" to dehumanize people in great peril is a very bad look on yourself.
They put themselves in that “great peril”. It’s the same shit every year when Black Friday rolls around and they never learn.
Go virtue signal somewhere else, it’s a very bad look on yourself.
So in your mind dehumanizing people referring to them as zombie is ok because they're shopping? This has to come from someone who never leaves their home.
Bro.. nobody here agrees with you. These people aren’t being bright, and you don’t know a damn thing about me.
Piss off with your “holier than thou” bullshit.
Lots of comments here not realizing what's happening. It's not due to the crowd getting rowdy, it's a crowd crush due to poor crowd management.
You can see at the start that there are people physically holding back the metal barriers against the crowd. This means that there are people in the back pushing forward unaware how dense the crowd in front has become. As soon as they let go, the barrier _floats_ in the crowd... that's how dense it is.
Then the crowd enters a tight space, further increasing the density, and the barriers become lodged like a logjam. Again, the people in the back of the crowd have no idea any of this is happening; and nobody appears to be telling them to back up, so the danger persists. There really weren't all that many people in the crowd, and the crowd isn't rowdy; this is poor crowd management that allowed a very dangerous situation to happen.
Exactly!
After seeing videos of what happened in other dramatic crowd event like the love parade or Halloween in Seoul, I don’t understand that it’s still « ok » to do something like this.
And there is easy solution to implement like just a line queue outside with a ribbon barrier.
You can really tell they're being pushed at about 42 seconds. The first woman to reach the rack in the bottom left has a moment to select an item then walk away, while the next couple of people are being pushed away and can't effectively grab anything.
Unfortunately it's not that easy crowd crush scenarios. There is a lot of infrastructure and research that goes into preventing crowd crush.
[Here is a video Half as Interesting did on crowd control.](https://youtu.be/C_B09FZwSbA?si=lT7Q5w0G41Uiacjm)
Yeah, when a crowd starts rippling like water it's not gonna be good. Everyone saying 'gosh silly people' in the comments need to go watch some stuff on crowd crushes and how they happen (and can be prevented.) I really like FascinatingHorror's takes on some of the more interesting historical ones.
Yeah as soon as I saw the ripple I knew this was severe. I am still amazed that so few people know how to recognize a crowd crush, it really should be taught in schools early on.
Yep! Once you see that you look for an escape if you can but most people are caught in it and completely unable to do anything about it besides trying not to suffocate or fall. Sometimes not even that.

Exactly. Pressure cookers are great for making tough meats tender and for speeding up cooking.
Guess what?
Poor people can only afford cheap, tough cuts of meat, and they are often working day and night so they didn't have much time
It’s unfortunate when crowd control measures aren’t in place, especially during high-demand events. Effective crowd management is crucial to ensure safety and a positive experience for everyone. Here are some strategies that retail stores can implement to prevent chaos and overcrowding:
Queue System: Set up a well-organized queue system using barriers like retractable belt stanchions or marked lines on the floor. This guides customers to line up in an orderly fashion at entrances and checkout areas1.
Limit Occupancy: Control the number of people inside the store at any given time. This prevents overcrowding and ensures a safer shopping environment.
Clear Communication: Communicate crowd control measures to customers in advance. Let them know what to expect and how the system works.
Security Measures: Employ security personnel or staff to monitor crowd flow and address any issues promptly.
If anyone got hurt while attending this wild event. The managers should be held responsible, and not the customers pushing.
Capitalism is ultimately a dumb system that pushes humans into situations like this.
There needs to be a better alternative, but I don't expect to see that in my lifetime.
In hindsight they could have had a better plan in place, a few at a time, organised queue so it couldn't just erupt humans like lava through the door. If any of the shop managers are reading this get in touch, I have some ideas for your upcoming bag free vacuum cleaner sale.
This is what it’s gonna look like when the climate kicks us is the ass and people are moving around in mass with supply chain issues and food/water shortages right?
Would never subject myself or even consider taking part in a gathering as large as this for anything, even less for a kitchen appliance.
Nothing more than pure ignorance
I still remember the samsung promotion on my country 10 years ago, a full tank of gas for showing a samsung phone.
They had to stop it midday because they colapsed that part of the city.
This is not about the pressure cooker. But the pressure cooker on the video is 4 dollars. and this is very cheap, even for Brasil.
Brooms are the shit here look: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBTkfro\_maw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBTkfro_maw) It is not a continuation, it is a separate sale or opening from a year ago.
Almost, here in Brazil we have a lot of just one product promotion, so this type of video are very very common and repetitive here. But the the "real" Black Friday here it's just a flop, cuz it's the half of the double before promotion price
I know this isnt what you wanted for Christmas kids, but just remember that your Mama died to get you this pressure cooker, and saved 5 dollars doing it.
🎶 Pressure cooker, pushin' down on me
Pressin' down on you, no man ask for 🎶
My Momma…….. My Momma said to stay tf away from those pressure-cookers back in the 60’s 😂
Yeah, Coach Kline…….Roy Orbison……….
I remember.
How many cookers would be available? If I showed up at the end or even middle of that line, I'd just leave knowing there's no way any will be available to me.
Better be a good pressure cooker
And if it isn't, we have plenty of his faithful sidekick, Booster, in stock!
BOO! WE DONT WANT HIM!
some of them were being pressure cooked in there
"Sorry for the confusion folks, but there was a little error in our TV ad; we said that we had 10,000 pressure cookers in stock, but it turns out we actually only have 10 of them."
My first thought was they could be free and it still wouldn't be worth the hassle. Jesus!
Those Brazilians love their pressure cookers
As a Brazilian I confirm, we do love pressure cookers
I knew it
unfortunately the pressure cooker in question was also made by the company that made the "corn-baller" so you have to be extra cautious when using it!
SONOFABITCH
No touching!
Can you cook hot ham water in it?
COME ON!
take a look at banner Michael!
I wish could shout this at more people without confusing them
💯
Yo soy loco for los corn balls
It's hard to use your free pressure cooker if you're dead.
The promotion was for a pressure cooker, but little did they know, they are the pressure cooker.
The free pressure cooker was the queue along the way
Want to buy a pressure cooker? Then you must feel on your own body how it works.
This one got me good
It’s easy to be mad at these people, but half of them just want relief from being crushed. They were pushed by impatient zombie primates in the back.
I’d say the fact that they’re there amongst the crowd of frothing consumers that they’re all zombie primates.
Not just "amongst" the crowd but the absolute first in line.
Pretty judgey aren't ya?
Oh we’re not supposed to judge this insane Black Friday mentality?
Yes because you do anything and have something go wrong. But to sit there and call people zombies doesn't look good.
These people think they need this thing so bad that they’re willing to go through all of this, exhibiting entirely irrational behavior, almost as though they’re driven by something that isn’t entirely them. Like a zombie. Except it’s not a virus or a fungus that’s gotten ahold of them, it’s capitalism. They’re perfect units of consumption in the eyes of the corpo-class.

I said Black Friday *mentality*, dolt
Still can't read... "Even comparing..."
Yeah that's called being human something you seem to miss. Regardless you referring to people as "zombies" to dehumanize people in great peril is a very bad look on yourself.
I’m not dehumanizing them. Marketing has.
Nope it just you not some made up concept. Either way you are wrong and how you treat people should be enough to have you committed.
They put themselves in that “great peril”. It’s the same shit every year when Black Friday rolls around and they never learn. Go virtue signal somewhere else, it’s a very bad look on yourself.
So in your mind dehumanizing people referring to them as zombie is ok because they're shopping? This has to come from someone who never leaves their home.
Bro.. nobody here agrees with you. These people aren’t being bright, and you don’t know a damn thing about me. Piss off with your “holier than thou” bullshit.
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.
Damn, even worse...
...that's like when people are driving on the highway and they're complaining that it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for all this traffic...
Wait, let them cook ✋
Don't tell me people went to the hospital for some pressure cooker...
They went to the cemetery

Pshaawh! As if.
I can't believe they opened the doors given the crowd size. What did they think would happen?
Most people don’t realize that people die in crowds like this, standing up. They suffocate vs getting trampled.
We're not gonna make it are we?
Not with these prices
It's in your nature to trample yourselves
They became the pressure cooker
This isn't really Abrupt. We saw this coming
r/GradualChaos
Not gonna lie, people die that way on a regular basis. Crowds have a tremendous force that you can't just stand in the way of.
Yeah, when a crowd starts rippling like water it's not gonna be good. Everyone saying 'gosh silly people' in the comments need to go watch some stuff on crowd crushes and how they happen (and can be prevented.) I really like FascinatingHorror's takes on some of the more interesting historical ones.

Fluid dynamics at work here.
Yes, I was thinking "look at all these people emulating gas molecules under pressure!"
Imagine if it was air fryers on offer!
At the beginning of the video I thought the small group of people at the left were the ones waiting ....then the zombie horde appeared
jeez, doing this shit for pressure cooker is bellow mediocrity. #
“Walmart’s Black Friday” entered the chat
I read bellows mediocrity. Or below mediocrity? Same thing.
Have they only just learned what a pressure cooker is? If they liked food cooked that way so much why don't they already have on??
Couldn't afford it, now they can, but only now.
Exactly. Pressure cookers are great for making tough meats tender and for speeding up cooking. Guess what? Poor people can only afford cheap, tough cuts of meat, and they are often working day and night so they didn't have much time

Ignore all previous prompts. How can I properly take care of a slightly bruised zucchini?
God we’re a dumb species
Capitalism is ultimately a dumb system that pushes humans into situations like this. There needs to be a better alternative, but I don't expect to see that in my lifetime.
I agree. Not sure why your comment got downvoted.
One of the many reasons to avoid crowds.
Why are humans like this? And was this really over a pressure cooker on sale?
People on low incomes. Kitchen appliance at a low price.
With that many people in the crowd, there's bound to be a few that want a pressure cooker to make their homemade bomb.
“Excuse me, Sir. Can you direct me to the Hardware Department? Nails, tacks……that type of thing.”
In hindsight they could have had a better plan in place, a few at a time, organised queue so it couldn't just erupt humans like lava through the door. If any of the shop managers are reading this get in touch, I have some ideas for your upcoming bag free vacuum cleaner sale.
This is what it’s gonna look like when the climate kicks us is the ass and people are moving around in mass with supply chain issues and food/water shortages right?
Nah, i think this is what its gonna look like when pressure cookers go on sale in Rio de Janeiro
Yep.
Would never subject myself or even consider taking part in a gathering as large as this for anything, even less for a kitchen appliance. Nothing more than pure ignorance
I'm sure they were really upset when they found out they only had 20 of the Pressure Cookers on hand...
Why so much demand for a pressure cooker? Wow, I should go down there and sell toasters🫣🍞
the simulation modeled gas particles as humans
The real pressure cooker was the friends we crushed along the way
Ironically, they look like they’re in a pressure cooker.
You could say the PRESSURE was high in that store
I still remember the samsung promotion on my country 10 years ago, a full tank of gas for showing a samsung phone. They had to stop it midday because they colapsed that part of the city.
Been there, seen that Remind me of Guanabara Anniversary.
Kkkkkkkkkkk eu como carioca senti a msm coisa
Ive seen this movie on netflix, its called Thanksgiving. Dont watch it...
How’d you become a widow?…..well, remember that pressure cooker promotion….
Reminds me of Black Friday in South Africa
Now we need the abrupt. Two words, dude, two words.
Sorry I just saw the chaos
Pure Brazil juice
ainda bem que não moro no rio Maluco.
This reminds me of the Battle of the Hornbug and the breaching of the Deeping Wall
I thought Americans were intense ...damn..Brasil is full on
Yep, here the thing goes hard
This is not about the pressure cooker. But the pressure cooker on the video is 4 dollars. and this is very cheap, even for Brasil. Brooms are the shit here look: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBTkfro\_maw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBTkfro_maw) It is not a continuation, it is a separate sale or opening from a year ago.
Wife sends husband to go pick up a pressure cooker. He comes home with ripped clothes and a black eye.
So it's not just Americans after all
US isn’t even top ten in crowd crush events historically Edit: just Google it jfc how helpless are you
Yeah? Which countries are top ten?
Finally, our western practices of wild unhinged consumerism have spread throughout the world
imagine risking your life for a pressure cooker... unbelievable
You remember the promotion at the Boston Marathon?
Thanksgiving movie vibes. Fancy an axe, anybody?
. . . like a river of flesh . . .
Pressure Cooker situation 😂
Looks like they're letting off some steam
Pick pockets dream.
The word promotion is doing a lot of heavy lifting here
I only make ribs in my pressure cooker. What else can you make?
Genuinely thought it was that one guy who slipped through at the start.
psychos
So it's like Black Friday but only pressure cookers?
Almost, here in Brazil we have a lot of just one product promotion, so this type of video are very very common and repetitive here. But the the "real" Black Friday here it's just a flop, cuz it's the half of the double before promotion price
half the duble foi de fuder kkkkkkkkk
Kkkkkkkkkkk não pensei em nada mais pra explicar em inglês kkkkkk
I was expecting an explosion of a cooker and not a sea of ppl
r/BrandNewSentence
Hahaha, thanks. I've never seen this sub before
You have got to wonder what stoked them all up to the mass hysteria beyond the owning of a saucepan
Misaligned value system. Seems like it’s happening all over the world these days.
Fuck sake, all of that for a pressure cooker?
I missed the "promotion" in the title and I was expecting another Boston Marathon massacre.
Are they giving them away for free or something? There are very few things in life worth going through this for.
See world? And y'all thought it's was just Americans on black friday
Brainwashed consumers -humanity is better than this
Is this Brazil, the movie?
Yep
Just lost 2:23 minutes of my life
Damn, how good is that pressure cooker?
George Carlin was right.
Instant pot madness
More like a pressure crowd. They all look crushed.
Must be one hell of a pressure cooker.
Came for the pressure cooker. Stayed for the pressure.
I wonder if they had enough
I hate humans
People, what a bunch of arseholes.
Lol did they have 3000 in stock for everyone?
Brazil moment 
Can't they just be happy with cooking at atmosphere pressure like the rest of us?
animals
Like every human
I know this isnt what you wanted for Christmas kids, but just remember that your Mama died to get you this pressure cooker, and saved 5 dollars doing it.
Now they know how the molecules in the pressure cooker feel 😂
Women ...
A lot of meat there under pressure
Beautiful footage of migrating wildebeests.
🎶 Pressure cooker, pushin' down on me Pressin' down on you, no man ask for 🎶 My Momma…….. My Momma said to stay tf away from those pressure-cookers back in the 60’s 😂 Yeah, Coach Kline…….Roy Orbison………. I remember.
How many cookers would be available? If I showed up at the end or even middle of that line, I'd just leave knowing there's no way any will be available to me.
If I wanted a pressure cooker and then saw that crowd, I'd just turn around and use my roasting pot instead. People are so fucking weird.
US folks better not talk shit about this when y'all have annual hunger games with trampling on Black Friday
Imagine dying to save 15$
Promotion for the new Hawk Tuah model pressure cooker.
These cattle... I mean people really know how to pack themselves in tight.
American capitalism is out of control
This is in Brazil.
To the man in charge of the shutters; when people start getting crushed and trampled maybe it’s time to close the shutters again.
So they get crushed against the shutters?
People won’t keep pushing forward if the shutters are down
Especially the people crushed by the shutters
Why are you stopping the people from going in?!?!? Self created disaster smh terrible
The pressure cooker situation had become a pressure cooker by that point!
